Compared to his previous debut single, Hymn For A Friend In The Sky, this time J.Irwin is trying to reflect an indifference atmosphere. Local Heroes gives the audience a shape of exploration towards several forms of instrumental music. In this album, the guitarist who is famous with his Jimmy Page style is working through many unique ways to produce an original work of art.

In this album, J.Irwin involved a great deal of elements which makes this mini-album sounds more definite rather than his previous works. You can feel the pieces of soul music, The Who's R&B, the down-tempo of peculiar ballad which clearly stands out between The Stones and The Charlatans UK, absurd spaces from The Doors, and even the hard progressive side from band such as Iron Butterfly. Not to mention the solo guitar playing which slightly breaks the standard of the music genres stated above. In brief, you will hear the post-pentatonic melodies that take you out there to peaceful, foggy, and green high-land villages in Yogyakarta. An album which is going to take you drifting through a complex journey of the guitarist himself, from a peaceful spot in the mountain peak to every corners of the capital city which dirty, dingy, and full of danger. Experience it! [Wahyu Nugroho]
